This would require the full data, I looked at it and neither the CVS tree nor the Web interface has everything. - the changeset ids are missing, if bk does its renumbering thing ids in comments become useless - complete changesets are missing, RCS is quite capable of branches, so there is no need of merging patches into a single patch. - merge information is missing, e.g. what branch was merged into which changeset.
I attached an example RCS file, how that could look like. I had to guess the merging information and tags are missing. It would be really useful to have this information as well.
